Somehow, the spider was alive. More strange, the spider was, for the first time, aware. Not the dim awareness she half-remembered from Before. The spider saw only light through her many eyes and panicked as she senses she was floating in liquid. A few frantic heartbeats later, she realized she wasn't drowning. She sensed the Other One, just over there, thinking of them as connected by a trapping thread to herself. And through the human, the spider could feel the soulfire around her changing her.
    She emerged from the pool of light, eyes beholding other figures on the shore and the thought of delicious prey entered her mind.
